And, while thinking of these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to yourself Mary your wife; for that which was begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit.

And Joseph, arising from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord directed him, and took to himself his wife;

saying, "Where is He that is born King of the Jews, For we saw His star in the east, and we came to do Him homage."

And the king Herod, hearing it, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;

And they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judaea;" for thus it has been written through the prophet:

and, sending them to Bethlehem, he said, "Having gone, inquire ye exactly concerning the Child; and, when ye find Him, bring me word, that I, too, having come, may worship Him."

And, coming into the house, they saw the Child with Mary, His mother; and, falling down, they paid Him homage; and, having opened their treasures, they presented to Him gifts??old and frankincense and myrrh.

And, they having departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Having risen, take the Child and His mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there till I speak to you; for Herod is about to seek the Child to destroy Him."

Then were going forth to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the country round about the Jordan,

and they were being immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan, to John, to be immersed by him;

but he was hindering Him, saying, "I have need to be immersed by Thee; and dost Thou come to me?"

But Jesus, answering, said to him, "Suffer it now; for thus it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness." Then He suffers Him.

And, having been immersed, Jesus went up straightway from the water; and, behold, the heavens were opened; and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, coming upon Him;

And the Tempter, having come near, said to Him, "If Thou art God's Son, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread."

Then the Devil takes Him into the holy city, and placed Him on the pinnacle of the temple,

and says to Him, "If Thou art a Son of God, cast Thyself down; for it has been written, 'He shall give His angels charge concerning Thee; and on their hands they shall bear Thee up; lest at any time Thou shouldest dash Thy foot against a stone.'"

Jesus said to him, "Again it has been written, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"

Again the Devil takes Him into an exceedingly high mountain, and shows Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

and he said to Him, "All these things will I give Thee, if, falling down, Thou wilt worship me."

Then Jesus saith to him, "Depart, Satan; for it has been written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.'"

Then the Devil leaves Him; and, behold, angels came and were ministering to Him.

And, immediately leaving their nets, they followed Him.

and they, having immediately left the boat and their father, followed Him.

And the report of Him went forth into all Syria; and they brought to Him all having ailments, afflicted with manifold diseases and torments, demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics; and He healed them.

And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and beyond Jordan.

And, seeing the multitudes, He went up into the mountain; and, He having sat down, His disciples came to Him:

Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest perhaps the adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.

"And it was said, 'Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;'

but I say to you, Resist not the evil man; but whosoever smites you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

and to him who is desirous that you should be sued at the law, and to take your coat, grant your cloak also;

and whosoever shall impress you to go one mile, go with him two.

Give to him asking you; and from him who wishes to borrow of you turn not away.

Be not, therefore, like them; for your Father knoweth of what things ye have need before ye ask Him.

for every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened.

Or what man is there of you who, if his son shall ask him for bread, will give him a stone?

Or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent?

If, therefore, ye, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in Heaven give good things to those asking Him?

And, when He came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him.

And, behold, a leper, coming near, was worshiping Him, saying, "Lord, if Thou art willing, Thou art able to cleanse me."

And, stretching forth His hand, He touched him, saying, "I am willing. Be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

And Jesus saith to him, "See that you tell no one: but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

And, when He entered into Capernaum, there came to Him a centurion, beseeching Him.

And He saith to him, "Having gone, I will heal him."

And Jesus, hearing it, wondered, and said to those following Him, "Verily I say to you, with no one in Israel did I find such faith.

and He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose, and was ministering to Him.

And, when it was evening, they brought to Him many demoniacs; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,

And Jesus, seeing a multitude about Him, gave orders to depart to the other side.

And a scribe, coming near, said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow Thee wheresoever Thou mayst go."

And Jesus saith to him, "The foxes have dens; and the birds of the heaven have lodging-places; but the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head."

And another of the disciples said to Him, "Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father."

But Jesus saith to him, "Follow Me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."

And His disciples followed Him, as He entered into a boat.

And, coming to Him, they awoke Him, saying, "Lord, save; we are perishing!"

And the men wondered, saying, "What manner of Man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!"

And, when He came to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, there met Him two demoniacs, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass along that way;

And the demons were entreating Him, saying, "If Thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine."

And, behold, all the city came forth to meet Jesus; and, seeing Him, they besought Him, that He would depart from their borders.

And, behold, they were bringing to Him a paralytic laid upon a couch. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Child, be of good courage; your sins are forgiven."

And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the tax-office, and He saith to him, "Follow Me." And, rising up, he followed Him.

Then came to Him the disciples of John, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Thy disciples fast not?"

While He is speaking these things to them, behold, a ruler, having come to Him, was worshiping Him, saying, "My daughter just now died; but, coming, lay Thy hand upon her, and she shall live."

And Jesus, having risen, was following him, also His disciples.

And, behold, a woman, having a flow of blood twelve years, having come up behind Him, touched the border of His garment;

said, "Withdraw; for the damsel did not die, but is sleeping." And they were laughing at Him.

And, as Jesus was passing on thence, two blind men followed Him, crying out, and saying, "Have mercy on us, O Son of David!"

And the blind men came to Him, when He entered into the house; and He saith to them, "Believe ye that I am able to do this?" They say to Him, "Yes, Lord."

And, as they were going forth, behold, they have brought to Him a dumb man, a demoniac;

And, having called to Him His twelve disciples, He gave them authority over unclean spirits, so as to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.

Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.

And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Him Who is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell.

"Every one, therefore, who shall confess Me before men, him will I also confess before My Father Who is in Heaven.

But whosoever denies Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father Who is in Heaven.

"He that receives you receives Me; and he that receives Me receives Him Who sent Me.

said to Him, "Art Thou the Coming One, or are we to look for another?"

He that has ears let him hear.

"All things were delivered to Me by My Father; and no one fully knows the Son except the Father; neither does any one fully know the Father except the Son, and he to whom the Son willeth to reveal Him.

But the Pharisees, seeing it, said to Him, "Behold, Thy disciples are doing that which it is not lawful to do on a sabbath."

But He said to them, "Did ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those with him?

how he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, but only for the priests?

And, behold, a man having a withered hand; and they questioned Him, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?" that they might accuse Him.

But the Pharisees, having gone out, held a consultation against Him, that they might destroy Him.

But Jesus, knowing it, withdrew thence; and many followed Him, and He healed them all.

And He charged them, that they should not make Him known;

"Behold, My servant Whom I chose, My Beloved, in Whom My soul delighted. I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He will declare judgment to the gentiles.

Then there was brought to Him a demoniac, blind, and dumb; and He healed him, so that the dumb man spake and saw.

And whosoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven, neither in this age nor in that which is to come.

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered Him, saying, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from Thee."

While He was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and His brothers were standing without, seeking to speak to Him.

[And one said to Him, "Behold, Thy mother and Thy brothers are standing without, seeking to speak to Thee."]

But He, answering, said to him that told Him, "Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?"

And there were gathered to Him great multitudes; so that He, having entered into a boat, sat down, and all the multitudes were standing on the beach.

He that has ears let him hear."

And the disciples, having come near, said to Him, "Wherefore dost Thou speak to them in parables?"

For whosoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall be made to abound; but whosoever has not, even what he has shall be taken away from him.

And the servants of the house-holder, corning near, said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Whence, then, has it tares?'

And he said to them, 'An enemy did this.' The servants say to him, 'Do you wish, then, that we, going, should gather them up?'

Then, leaving the multitudes, He went into the house; and His disciples came to Him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field."

Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He that has ears let him hear.

"Did ye understand all these things?" They say to Him, "Yes;"
